Creating Space For Calm
Today was all about agendas to get things done, being busy with a purpose, early morning commuting on BART into San Francisco with my coffee in hand, deadlines at City College of San Francisco's (CCSF) newspaper The Guardsman, meeting with faculty members, emails and assignments. Somehow in the rush of today, I was late for my massage therapy shift at Project Zen Day Spa in the North Beach neighborhood of The City. I was in an Uber, speeding towards my destination when I remembered to find my space of calm, to slow down deepen my inhalations and exhalations, to let go of the balls of tension that were crowding around my jawline and stomach and to remember the ease and mindfulness that helps to pull me through it all.
Toni Carmine Salerno's card "Tiger's Eye" from her "Crystal Oracle" deck, let me remember that today, my feathers were going to be ruffled, my resolve might waver, my nerves might be tested and my emotions a bit frayed at the edges thanks to the high concentration of moon energies saturating the atmosphere, but that I could find a grounding place of peace throughout this little slice of the journey. I can move with ease and flow through the changes with grace. I can choose to be at peace.
"Mermaid" From Sade's Album "Love Deluxe" By Paul Spencer Denman,
Why? Because nothing expresses calm like this beautiful and relaxing melody
